Welcome to Holme Slack Community Primary School and Nursery

Welcome to Holme Slack Community Primary School and Nursery.

Nestled in the heart of Preston, Holme Slack Primary School and Nursery is our very own hidden oasis. Surrounded by green spaces and a strong sense of community, our school provides a safe, nurturing and inspiring environment where children are encouraged to thrive, achieve and believe in themselves.

As Acting Headteacher, I am incredibly proud to be part of a school that has served its community for so many years. Having worked at Holme Slack for over a decade, I have seen first-hand the remarkable impact that positive relationships, high expectations and genuine care can have on children's lives. Our school is not simply a place of learning; it is a place where children are known, valued and supported to become the very best version of themselves.

At the heart of everything we do is our belief that "Our Children Can Achieve." This vision drives our work every day. We want every child to leave Holme Slack with the knowledge, skills, confidence and character needed to succeed in the next stage of their education and beyond.

We are proud of our inclusive ethos and our commitment to ensuring that all children, regardless of their background, starting point or individual needs, have the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to provide high-quality learning experiences, whilst placing equal importance on children's wellbeing, personal development and happiness.

One of Holme Slack's greatest strengths is its sense of community. We value the partnership between home and school and recognise that children achieve most when we work together. Whether meeting families on the gate, celebrating achievements through our newsletter and social media, or listening to feedback that helps shape the future of our school, building strong relationships with our families remains at the heart of my approach to leadership.

We are also proud to offer our Nursery provision, providing children with a nurturing and exciting start to their educational journey. From Nursery through to Year 6, our aim is to create an environment where children feel safe to take risks, develop resilience, discover their talents and grow into confident, responsible young people.

What makes Holme Slack truly special, however, is our children. Their kindness, enthusiasm, curiosity and determination inspire us every day. They are at the centre of every decision we make and their success is our greatest measure of achievement.

Whether you are a current family, a prospective parent considering a place for your child, or a member of the wider community, I hope our website gives you a flavour of the warmth, ambition and opportunity that define life at Holme Slack.

I feel incredibly privileged to lead this wonderful school and invite you to come and see for yourself why so many people describe Holme Slack as Preston's best-kept secret and a hidden oasis at the heart of our community.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Miss Gemma Stocks
Acting Headteacher
